35d EGR valve?

Has anyone had it replaced? Did it fix the CEL or did they have to swap other parts?

See my thread "CEL came on this week". My issue caused several EGR faults but the real issue was the "charging air temp sensor" which feeds data to the EGR controller.

Having said that, I've not heard of CELs due to EGR valves on these diesels...

Without knowing your codes, it is impossible to venture a guess as to what the real cause might have been....

All of my EGR faults specifically said " will not cause warning lamp".

With all due respect, I was standing shoulder to shoulder with the tech when the faults came up during the diagnosis, and watched him print them. Every EGR fault specifically said in the first line of the printout that it would not cause a warning lamp.

With all due respect, were you pulling codes or were you running diagnostics? Two different things.

You do a disservice telling people "EGR Codes do not set CELs" if in fact you were running a diagnostic test and not pulling 'already set EGR faults'...

A CEL is set by a code, period. You cannot have a CEL come on without AT LEAST ONE underlying code.

In your other thread, your mechanic said there were no codes for your CEL, correct? That is why I said he is lying. He may have erased the existing (historical) codes, then run the diagnostics- which showed no 'present' codes.

Again- 'set codes in the OBD' versus 'BMW diagnostics'- different things

Sorry I didn't have all the details when I started this thread. Here is what is causing the CEL:

4C52: Charge-air temperature sensor, plausibility. Ratio of calculated to measured air mass too high.
3FF0: Air-mass flow sensor. Charge-air temperature not plausible in rel. to remaining temperature signals.
4B82: Exhaust-gas recirculation-rate control, control deviation. Exhaust-gas recirculation rate too low/positive control deviation.


Dealer wants to replace the temp sensor and the EGR valve. However the EGR valve is not in stock and they have to ship it in from Germany. Also they said the MAF sensor might be bad. I'm not sure how two or three things could possibly go bad at the same time.

Did any of the codes include the words "permanent error"?

I don't think so. All three say "Fault currently not present"
